You are not alone. I have the fattest fingers and I can't wait to be able to wear my rings again. It's one of my goals!

Yep, I had to wear fake wedding rings for awhile. I just got mine resized from a snug 8 to a loose 6. :)

Yes, they got thinner for me. My ring size was a 10, now it is a 6.5. It is very nice not to have sausage fingers anymore! ;)

NICE - What about calves? I hope to fit into regular boots, not the wide width, because even those are tight.

On a side note, if anyone is looking for some cheaper rings, Amazon.com sells stainless steel rings for pretty cheap. One of the rings I wore is an eternity band that was similar to my real ring (except on my real ring, the stones don't go all the way around). It cost me one penny plus $4.99 shipping. Yep, five dollars - and stainless steel, so no nickel or having the metal change color. I ended up getting a solitaire from HSN.com that was similar to my own. My real engagement ring had a lower setting than most solitaires so I was happy to find one pretty similar for about $30. (But if you like a higher setting, Amazon has some stainless steel ones for around $10-$30.)

I did wear my real rings until one time I was drying them off with a paper towel at work and they slipped right off. Holy buckets!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
